Either in the draft or free agency? Someone like a Brandon Marshal or Dez Bryant? I think the Rams are lacking such a receiver and it is one piece of the puzzle we need to add.
I mentioned this before, but feel it is worth repeating.This is why people want us to draft the 6ft 5 Mike Evans - or the 6ft 1 Sammy Watkins. I think Brian Quick might be the guy given time. He's a developer - and he's getting better. It just takes time.
Watching Alshon Jeffery last night though was hard to bear knowing we passed him up for Quick.

Drafting Quick over Jeffrey doesn't bother me...what bothers me is that Chicago took Jeffery with the pick they got from us...in return we got Isiah Pead and Rok Watkins.
Yes, and his name will be Dorial Green-Beckham!!
I totally feel what you're saying. Maybe I'm just numb from the Ziggy/Shaw days. It was like they looked at the next contract potential and tried to figure out who would be easiest to re-sign. We may not be hitting on every pick but I at least get the feeling we're trying to. Back then? Not so much.I mentioned this before, but feel it is worth repeating.

I saw him in the game the other night and liked what little I saw. I don't see him listed on Walter Football.
I think we have a chance at seeing Cook develop more into this kind of receiver IF the rest of the team can develop and we start using more of the spread WITH SUCCESS that we saw at the beginning of the year. Having a running game to keep defenses honest is a must in the NFL and they have started to develop that too.
If they were going to pick a WR in the first round I'd have to go with Evans but I really think the DBs and O line are more of an area of need.
Yeah - a running game is crucial to a spread. In fact, Oregon made their bread on butter off the run with a spread offense. The real problem I see with a spread is that defensive players are SO much faster in the NFL that the gaps close really quickly. Even in college you see the good teams figuring out the spread. I think there is a reason you don't see the spread used all that much in the NFL.I saw him in the game the other night and liked what little I saw. I don't see him listed on Walter Football.

I also really liked that they tried to become more of a pass first spread team, even if it didn't work. I just think that the experience will help them become a more balanced team next year as they discover what does work.Yep June Jones.
Maybe spread isn't exactly right. Whatever they were trying to do the first four games this year.
I was really excited to see Sam working in a more passer friendly offense with the new toys/weapons and up tempo scheme. If they can get the protection right and quit dropping so many passes I think Sam can make this style go for big points most weeks. And now that we have Stacy and Cunningham giving a decent option in the run game it is time to crank it up!!
